LESSON FIFTEEN:

             “OUR BODIES AS LIVING SACRIFICES”

Follow the example set by Christ and you will
discover the path set before every follower of Christ.
Look at the steps Christ took and you will find the
steps God expects a Christian to take.

Modern-day Christianity is all too willing to let Christ
do all the dying, denial, and cross bearing. Study
well what Paul has recorded in Romans as being a
path to follow that was first walked by Christ.

 CHRIST WAS CRUCIFIED…    “HE HAS APPEARED TO PUT
 HE WAS BURIED…          AWAY SIN BY THE SACRIFICE
 HE WAS RAISED…
                            OF HIMSELF… CHRIST WAS
MY OLD MAN WAS                OFFERED ONCE TO BEAR
CRUCIFIED WITH HIM,                  THE SINS OF MANY”
THAT THE BODY OF SIN
MIGHT BE                                                    Heb. 9:26-28
DONE AWAY WITH,
THAT I SHOULD NO LONGER                    “…PRESENT
BE A SLAVE OF SIN…                YOUR BODIES A LIVING
BAPTIZED IN CHRIST…
I AM UNITED TOGETHER                  SACRIFICE, HOLY,
IN THE LIKENESS OF HIS            ACCEPTABLE TO GOD…
DEATH…
I AM RAISED                                                           Rom. 12:1
IN THE LIKENESS OF
HIS RESURRECTION TO                  “…PRESENT YOUR
WALK IN NEWNESS OF               MEMBERS AS SLAVES OF
LIFE
                                   RIGHTEOUSNESS FOR
                                          HOLINESS… Rom. 6:19

                                             “THEREFORE
                                      DO NOT LET SIN REIGN

                                                IN YOUR
                                           MORTAL BODY,
                                         THAT YOU SHOULD
                                      OBEY IT IN ITS LUSTS.”
